Trump Unveils New Air Force One Donated by Qatar

Trump signed his name on the aircraft, which he described as a 'flying White House,' and defended the acceptance of the gift from Qatar.

The plane, formerly owned by Qatar's royal family, features a navy blue underbelly with a red stripe and plush interiors.

Critics have questioned the $400 million value and the impact on defense projects, but Trump said it would be 'stupid' to reject it.

The temporary Air Force One will serve until new presidential aircraft arrive in 2027-2028, and will eventually be donated to Trump's presidential library.
